There is actually a brutalist church building in D.C.
They think it is so ugly, they want to change it, but some people applied for it to be a historical landmark, because it's architectural styles is so unique. So this group of people are pretty much stuck with this ugly building :)... quite humorous.

Paris:
1: A is in B
2: B is in C
3: A is in C
Impossible to deny this validity. Forget about the fact that there is a Paris France, or Paris anywhere. The word "Paris" doesn't mean anything and/or it means everything. In this example, Paris could mean "a continent on the planet New Zealand" - it doesn't matter. The form is valid, he did not introduce any known new variables. There is absolutely no justification to believe that "Paris" in premise 1 and 2 are different. If there was, then you surely got almost every other valid questions wrong.
It's like saying this is invalid:
1: All Ducks Quack
2: Donald is a Duck
3: Donald Quacks
Because "Duck" in premise 2 could mean something that the author didn't define and is trying to trick us. Maybe "Duck" means, plastic rubber duckies, aye?
I can understand people being frustrated for not understanding the water one. But to deny the validity of the Paris one is just insane. Chaos even.
i = 1
i + i = 3... the second i really is a 2, tricked you!

P.S.
Water:
1: A (water) is B (H20)
2: C (every past examination) shows A is B
3: D (every future examination) will show A is B
Too many variables, none of which are connected. That's one reason why it's invalid. There are probably several.

I think what some of you are missing is the fact that a logical statement can be valid and still be false.
For instance:
All Cows are Ducks.
All Ducks are made from Peanut Butter.
Therefore, All Cows are made from Peanut Butter.
That is a logical syllogism. Whether or not it agrees with reality is besides the point.
